Meeting convened on a particularly uncertain day, with a turnout of exactly 5 members, 3 of whom had been invited.
Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, chair of the committee, opened the meeting by asking the question "What is the nature of existence?"
A heated debate ensued, with some arguing for the multiverse hypothesis, others for a deterministic universe, and one member insisting that the answer was clearly 42.
After 3 hours and 14 minutes of deliberation, a consensus was reached: "We have no idea what we're talking about."
A motion was made to reconvene the meeting, but was tabled until further notice.
Adjournment was called at 5:00 PM, with a recommendation for a strongly worded letter to be sent to the universe, expressing the committee's utter bewilderment.
The minutes of this meeting will be available on the committee's website, but be warned: they may contain spoilers.
